Sometimes I just want to slap Russell...

[Zowzout123]

Don't get me wrong, I love him very much and think hes amazing, but man... This is the same guy that can drive to the basket at will that i've seen all season long, right? I mean im fine with him taking those jump shots, tonight they were not falling however so I just don't get why he doesn't drive to the rim like hes fully capable of.

Don't tell me because of Bynum and Gasol etc, there were times when Bynum was contesting his shot (Well I might add) that he could of just blown by him. EVEN if he didn't score there's always the chance he gets sent to the line.

I mean I just don't get it, Durant drove some tonight too but honestly, when we were in the bonus with like 10:00 minutes remaining, I would of just had a field day driving to the bucket between Russell, KD and James... Whats the outcome? Maybe a turnover here and there? Sure, but also scoring because these dudes can finish, or being sent to the line and causing even more foul trouble for the Lakers.

Sorry, I had to vent, but sometimes I just don't know what they are thinking. I know its a lot easier for me to just say "drive to the basket" than it is to do all the time, but you get what i'm saying... Doing it a lot more often wouldn't hurt...

I completely agree with you. We were in the bonus with 10 mins left in the third. Harden was the only one consistently driving in the 2nd half. Russell needs to start driving more..

The Lakers made it very difficult to drive. They were conceding wide open jumpers to our guys, we just didn't make many in the 2nd half.

Those jump shots weren't falling because Bynum was playing the PnR high. Meaning we need a good cutter on the pick and roll. I don't understand why we don't run a PnR with Russ AND KD, theoretically it should be absolutely lethal.

I saw them run it once this last game. KD got the ball and russ game and gave him a very strong pick.. we should do that more often

[KD 4 MVP]

I agree 100% with KD and Russ working the PNR and the PNP we would be lethal.

[Durant 35]

He does settle too much at times... But the laker bigs were a factor

[r2b1]

Honey Badger don't give a ****! He has been key to our success overall.

[JJB14]

Russ and KD with a PnR and PnP would be unfair

[cjthunder]

KD and Russ aren't really the type to be setting picks. You think that is a skill those guys worked hard on growing up?

Got to realize that players have a feel for the game and they act on impulse. As long as Westbrook is hitting on all cylinders and making the right decisions we all love him; when he misses we want to trash him. We (fans) need to adjust our own attitudes about the game and remember that it is just a game.

Support our Thunder and let Scott Brooks who has brought the team this far continue leading the team atop the NBA summit.

If you did... He might chew your hand off.
